  1. There's no need for compliments either. We're all in this together. Teamwork!
  2. I'm glad I could help clarify the situation. There no need for thanks.
  3. As a business, Google's priority is to make money, not help us avoid spam.
  4. Bonk! Bonk! On the head! Bonk! Bonk!

  5. I look forward to seeing their upcoming final report, if it provides more details.
  6. As an experiment, I cut up into small pieces a couple of Russet potatoes, a carrot and an apple, added a raw egg, some bits of onion and garlic, cooked the mixture in a frying pan, then added ketchup and spices. It was delicious. Is there a name for this?
  7. Try changing the forwarding address to "nobody[at]null.invalid" or "nobody[at]example.com". Those are reserved non-existent email addresses.
  8. Fascinating, as Mr. Spock would say. I may try some of those. But those recipes are still more complicated than what I'm looking for. Keep trying
  9. Still waiting for an answer .... don't make me beat it out of you.
  10. I am already a competent spaghetti-cooker. I seek to acquire other skills, such as manufacturing ketchup, mustard, bread and other ancient crafts. The problem is that the online recipes seem targeted toward OCD personalities that like complex procedures. I'm looking for K.I.S.S. solutions.
  11. Are there any web sites that have simple recipes for guys? For example, if I want to make my own ketchup from scratch, using tomato paste or tomatoes, all I can find are absurdly complicated instructions that involve ten steps using twenty ingredients that I don't have and don't want. :angry: As an analogy, you can fix almost anything with duct tape and vise grips. There must be corresponding simple techniques for making food.
  12. Ah, the old "cesmail flag" trick. Thanks for posting the explanation.
  13. According to http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/topic/14392-important-spamcop-announcement/?view=findpost&p=90126: Doesn't that mean that you should never have to "add fuel"?

    Just checking

  15. Maybe from the number of registered members for these forums? That seems to be 10000+, but I don't think that has any meaningful correlation to the number of subscribers to the email service.
  16. The only benefit is that email forwarded will be spam checked using the Cisco Reputation system, whatever that is.
  17. At least we now have an explanation for the outages. It was known that the system was going away, so there was no reason to waste resources on fixing it.
  18. It presents us with the opportunity to some kind of an online "goodbye" party for SpamCop Email, with clowns, balloons and a generally festive atmosphere.
  19. FastMail looks significantly less costly than Hushmail, unless there are other considerations.
  20. I've been using the SpamCop email service for so long, I can't remember how SpamCop worked before that service was available. Was "Held Mail" an innovation of the email service, not available to reporting-only users? Or was there a way of diverting spam to a "Held Mail" area for all users?
  21. Thunderbird Portable seems to be Windows-only. I use GNU/Linux, so that wouldn't help me. But I'm sure there are other options for Linux. Even though I use IMAP, I didn't lose any mail. Luckily, after the last outage, I saw the posts here about lost mail, so I avoided using my local client (Thunderbird). If I hadn't seen the posts, I suppose Thunderbird would have synched with the server. But still, I do daily backups that include the Thunderbird folder, so at worst I wouldn't have lost more than 24 hours of mail.
  22. Thanks for the answers. I've been having some problems recently with email sent via Spamcop's SMTP getting delayed by several hours. The email headers indicate the delay is caused by either Spamcop or the server that receives the email from Spamcop. I'm not sure how to further isolate the cause of the problem.
  23. I'm getting the warning message about the expired certificate too. By the way, what's the status on this SMTP service? Is it still "beta"? Is it going to become a permanent feature?
